Hot Milk have released their brand-new single ‘Where Does The Light Get In’.
Guitarist Jim Shaw says, “Sadness doesn’t last forever, but when it consumes you it feels like it’s there for eternity. Essentially this song is a cry out for a change in circumstances. It’s hard seeing someone close to you in pain and feeling powerless to change it. I wanted to exacerbate the vulnerability of this song so I began as stripped back as I could, me and a piano, and played what you can hear as soon as the song starts. We wanted the lyrics to come across almost like a prayer so we brought in the girls in Espera to record a choir and act as the response in the chorus.”
Sharing further thoughts on the emotionally charged track, vocalist Hannah Mee expands, “This song is its own beast that came from a place of great torment and suffering, matters of the heart are rarely touched by our band but after the last year put me into a place I never wish to return I couldn’t not write this song. It was a necessity.”
Hot Milk have also announced a small UK headline run this Autumn, alongside their EU shows with Palaye Royale. Tickets are available here.
